15 Reasons Why Men Love To Cuddle

It’s the 21st century: it’s high time we normalize normal things for both genders including cuddling for men. Writing for men’ after cuddling made me cringe since an act of embracing shouldn’t be attributed to just half the species while the other half is as human as the first half. Men like cuddling, although they might not do it too often so as not to give you any false hopes but when they are actually in it, they love to cuddle and guess what? We can tell you 15 reasons why!

1. They Instinctively Like To Protect:

Cuddling, besides all the other feelings, gives men the feeling of being the protector.

When they wrap their arms around you they feel like they have somewhat contributed to their instinctive responsibility of protecting you and you have got to admit that you do feel a sense of safety.

2. It Makes You Happy:

Guys very well know the fact that we love cuddling and sometimes, just sometimes, they do us to make us happy. Even if they fear that you won’t let him change sides if you fall asleep while cuddling, they do it for the sake of that contentment on your face.

3. They Are Close To You:

Cuddling is the best possible form of making love without doing much. One of the reasons why guys love it, although not more than sex, most probably, is that it keeps you two close. They get to keep you close to their hearts and just relax. How calming is that feeling?

4. He Feels Manly:

Sometimes, when our self-esteem drops down and our ego is hurt, we look for refuge in someone and seek some way to get them back up. If your guy wishes to cuddle, one day, it might be because of the lemons life has been giving him lately.

5. They Can Be Themselves:

Guys are always expected to be the strong ones but there are days when things don’t go the way they would like them to, so they would come to you where they can embrace you and feel relaxed. Your arms might be the place where they can finally be themselves after a long day of faking smiles.

6. It is Comfortable:

This reason is why both the genders, and even animals, love cuddling. It is comfortable; you have to be an alien without a soul to deny this fact. There is nothing better than snuggling up with your favorite person on a chilly night.

7. Deep Slumber:

Just like it makes women sleep soundly, it makes men do the same. It is, in fact, scientifically proven that cuddling helps the two people sleep well and better than usual routine sleep. He might ask you to cuddle when he has had a rough day and just wants a deep sleep.

8. No Pressure:

Cuddling might even be the only thing that puts no pressure on them. Even sex can stress them about your expectations and make them worried but as simple as cuddling is, it takes little to no effort and only gives positive results.

9. The Intimacy:

The sex animal in humans does sleep and when it does, it is the soft bunny that stays awake. Men actually like being intimate with their partners; sex not being everything they want all the time. They have a relationship to build, after all.

10. Makes Them Feel Important:

Besides all the good things they feel while cuddling, they like the fact that you depend on them for comfort. The fact that you look forward to hugging them and sleeping on their chests at the end of the day makes them feel important.

11 All Those Feels:

We all have hormones and chemicals running through our body; certain acts of intimacy generate those chemicals and make us feel good. For all the natural and biological reasons, men like to cuddle. It is as simple as that.

12. It Leads To Sex:

Okay, he might be looking forward to something more to happen. It is not a bad way to initiate, in fact, as long as they succeed in taking you in on their plan of doing it. Some would say that cuddling to get more than cuddling is actually a nice tactic.

13. It’s Healthy:

Oxytocin, also called the cuddle chemical, is released while cuddling. Therefore, the more the happy chemicals, the better the relationship. And the better the relationship, the brighter your life. Through this indirect chain, cuddling does a lot more than you think.

14. All The Security:

Cuddling helps both the people feel secured. We ponder on how comfortably close we are to the other person with our eyes close while cuddling. The fact that they have you by their side, along with all the momentary realizations, makes men feel secure about their lives on the whole.

15. It Makes Them Happy:

To simplify things and to say the truth: men like to cuddle because it makes them just like it makes you happy. The stereotype of men being too strong to hug for so long is false. Men like being close and they just can’t deny it.
